Abstract

This chapter examines employer strategies in relation to migration. Drawing on literature within migration studies, HRM, employment relations and the sociology of work, it situates and explore the actions and strategies of one individual actor - the employer - within broader frameworks of regulation and migration governance and recognising the interactions between employers and other actors in the employment relationship. The chapter examines various aspects of research developed to investigate the relation between labour migration and employers, exploring the role of employer associations in shaping labour market regulations, the role of labour market intermediaries both in their capacity as employers and recruiters of migrant labour, and employers’ strategies in relation to refugees. The chapter argues for the need for a multi-level, multi-actor approach to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex ways that employer strategies and migration are related.
